Metabolic adaptations in cancer stem cells: A key to therapy resistance
Biochim Biophys Acta Mol Basis Dis. 2024 Apr 8:167164. doi: 10.1016/j.bbadis.2024.167164. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTCancer stem cells (CSCs) are a subset of tumor cells that can initiate and sustain tumor growth and cause recurrence and metastasis. CSCs are particularly resistant to conventional therapies compared to their counterparts, owing greatly to their intrinsic metabolic plasticity. Metabolic plasticity allows CSCs to switch between different energy production and usage pathways based on environmental and extrinsic factors, including conditions imposed by conventional cancer therapies. To cope with nutrient dep...

The transcription factor bmi1 increases hypoxic signaling in oral cavity epithelia
Biochim Biophys Acta Mol Basis Dis. 2024 Apr 8:167161. doi: 10.1016/j.bbadis.2024.167161. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe tongue epithelium is maintained by a proliferative basal layer. This layer contains long-lived stem cells (SCs), which produce progeny cells that move up to the surface as they differentiate. B-lymphoma Mo-MLV insertion region 1 (Bmi1), a protein in mammalian Polycomb Repressive Complex 1 (PRC1) and a biomarker of oral squamous cell carcinoma, is expressed in almost all basal epithelial SCs of the tongue, and single, Bmi1-labelled SCs give rise to cells in all epithelial layers.

Transcriptomic analysis identifies dysregulated pathways and therapeutic targets in PMM2-CDG
Biochim Biophys Acta Mol Basis Dis. 2024 Apr 8:167163. doi: 10.1016/j.bbadis.2024.167163. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTPMM2-CDG (MIM # 212065), the most common congenital disorder of glycosylation, is caused by the deficiency of phosphomannomutase 2 (PMM2). It is a multisystemic disease of variable severity that particularly affects the nervous system; however, its molecular pathophysiology remains poorly understood. Currently, there is no effective treatment. We performed an RNA-seq based transcriptomic study using patient-derived fibroblasts to gain insight into the mechanisms underlying the clinical symptomatology and ...

Iron ‑sulfur clusters in viral proteins: Exploring their elusive nature, roles and new avenues for targeting infections
Biochim Biophys Acta Mol Cell Res. 2024 Apr 8:119723. doi: 10.1016/j.bbamcr.2024.119723. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTViruses have evolved complex mechanisms to exploit host factors for replication and assembly. In response, host cells have developed strategies to block viruses, engaging in a continuous co-evolutionary battle. This dynamic interaction often revolves around the competition for essential resources necessary for both host cell and virus replication. Notably, iron, required for the biosynthesis of several cofactors, including iron‑sulfur (FeS) clusters, represents a critical element in the ongoing competiti...

Bioconcentration potential of ionic liquids: New data on membrane partitioning and its comparison with predictions obtained by COSMOmic
Biochim Biophys Acta Biomembr. 2024 Apr 5:184320. doi: 10.1016/j.bbamem.2024.184320. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTIonic liquids (ILs) have recently gained significant attention in both the scientific community and industry, but there is a limited understanding of the potential risks they might pose to the environment and human health, including their potential to accumulate in organisms. While membrane and storage lipids have been considered as primary sorption phases driving bioaccumulation, in this study we used an in vitro tool known as solid-supported lipid membranes (SSLMs) to investigate the affinity of ILs to membr...

GLUT3 transcriptional activation by ZEB1 fuels the Warburg effect and promotes ovarian cancer progression
This study explores the role of glucose transporter 3 (GLUT3) driven by zinc finger E-box-binding homeobox 1 (ZEB1) in OvCa progression and metastasis. Specifically, this study explored whether ZEB1 promotes glycolysis and assessed the potential involvement of GLUT3 in this process in OvCa cells. Our findings revealed that ZEB1 and GLUT3 were excessively expressed and closely correlated in OvCa. Mechanistically, ZEB1 activates the transcription of GLUT3 by binding to its promoter region. Increased expression of GLUT3 driven by ZEB1 dramatically enhances glycolysis, and thus fuels Warburg Effect to promote OvCa progression ...
